The Space Between Goodbye and Love

Brianna has spent her life choosing survival over honesty—staying quiet, staying useful, staying where she is needed, even when it costs her pieces of herself. Love, for her, has always meant endurance rather than choice. Devon is the one who stays. Steady, loyal, and emotionally restrained, he loves through presence rather than confession, believing that constancy is enough. But love that waits too long can quietly turn into absence. Abrey arrives with intention. Disciplined and emotionally controlled, she does not rush intimacy or mistake closeness for commitment. What she offers is rare: clarity, boundaries, and a love that refuses to exist in secrecy. As Brianna stands at the edge of change—without the lies that once protected her—she must decide what honesty truly costs. This is not a story about betrayal or dramatic endings, but about the quiet danger of comfort, the weight of unspoken truth, and the courage it takes to choose love without disappearing. The Space Between Goodbye and Love is a contemporary romance about emotional timing, restraint, and the kind of connection that feels ordinary—until it changes everything.
